FloatField (TextField for floats in javafx)?

Is there such thing as a FloatField in java fx. I need to be able to write and edit floats. So I tested it using strings. But setCellProperty doesn't support floats

TableColumn<Dish, Float> costCol = new TableColumn<>("Price");
costCol.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<Dish, Float>("cost"));


costCol.setCellFactory(TextFieldTableCell.<Dish>forTableColumn());

The generic type for the TextFieldTableCell.forTableColumn() method is the column type (Float in this case), not the table type.

Assuming your Dish class has a costProperty() method returning the appropriate type, your code will work if you provide a converter to the forTableColumn method:

costCol.setCellFactory(TextFieldTableCell.forTableColumn(new FloatStringConverter()));

(In Java 8, the complier will infer the correct generic type in the code above; if you want to be explicit you would do TextFieldTableCell<Float>.forTableColumn(...).)
